Apparently there are heated arguments among OpenMandriva maintainers about whether to package COSMIC or GNOME and Davide Beatrici turned to crime to undo the packaging progress. It probably should not be, but it is hilarious to me.

After Gitlab's recent announcement I am strongly considering migrating Redox OS to Forgejo, a truly open source community maintained project.

Why even have user accounts if one missing if statement in a multi-million line kernel gives everyone root

LLM slop is just one part of the broader systemd/Linux sloperating system.

IF I WANTED CLAUDE TO CHANGE MY CODE I WOULD ASK IT MYSELF, I DON'T NEED SOMEONE WHO KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT THE PROJECT TO ASK CLAUDE TO MAKE CHANGES THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND

There has never been a time in my life when I have been less enthused to be a programmer than now.

Thanks Matt. If you can either publicly or privately help me make a connection it would help us navigate this law.

These are my personal opinions about the operating system age bracket law passed in California (and coming to Colorado): https://www.reddit.com/r/pop_os/comments/1rfqyf8/comment/o7q34wu/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Parents should parent their children, not websites, not operating systems, and not idiot politicians writing idiot age verification laws

Dear contributors to projects I work on,
If you are programming with LLMs under the assumption that they will fill in the gaps in your own abilities, I can assure you that they will not. I prefer to not spend my time reviewing code you submit that you do not understand.
Thank you,
Jeremy

Redox now supports sending file descriptors over Unix sockets (SCM_RIGHTS), which means it should now be possible to port Wayland compositors and programs using D-Bus.

By the way, you might want to leave fosstodon if you care about marginalized people.

It hurts to see that blog post is still being passed around as truth, but if that is what y'all want to do, so be it.

This same person supports the current policies of ICE. How do I know that people I know will not be reported by this person resulting in their disappearance to a prison in El Salvador?

With the fediverse, we have the power to choose our home and I prefer to choose one where I would be comfortable recommending everyone I know to join. I cannot in good conscience remain on a server where people I know could potentially be victimized by the people in power.
A person is in power at fosstodon.org who does not believe in privacy for trans children. If this is a publicly held belief that they are willing to voice, what are they willing to do with private power?

I have moved my mastodon account from fosstodon.org to floss.social. I want to make the reason I have done this crystal clear.
There is a person on the moderation team at fosstodon.org that goes by the name carrotcypher. This person appears to have posted concerning views on reddit multiple times, which you can see detailed here: https://floss.social/@[email protected]/114370692794472318

#introduction I am Jeremy Soller.

I also am the creator and BDFL of a microkernel operating system primarily written in @npub1n6l…4ths called @npub1y8w…gese. I am damn near crazy about #Rust and use it anywhere and everywhere!
